LIVE REVIEW: ALANIS MORISSETTE AT CRYSTAL PALACE PARK, LONDON 04/07/26 (+ RUTI, PALE WAVES, SKUNK ANANSIE)

Some albums become part of your DNA. For me, Jagged Little Pill wasn't bought with pocket money or unwrapped on Christmas morning. It lived in my older brother's prized cassette collection, tucked between Nirvana and Pearl Jam, and I distinctly remember waiting until he'd gone out before sneaking it into my Walkman. At twelve years old I barely understood what Alanis Morissette was singing about, but I knew it felt different. Dangerous, honest and thrillingly angry. Thirty-one years later, standing in Crystal Palace Park among thousands of people who looked like they'd grown up alongside those songs, it was impossible not to feel that same rush.
